Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Soon, it was Gu Yihan’s birthday.
The emperor’s birthday was celebrated by the entire world.
Not only were there lanterns and decorations in the shop, but there were also spontaneous dragon and lion dances and fireworks. It was very lively.
Early in the morning in the palace, the imperial kitchen busily began to prepare the banquet delicacies for the entire day.
At this moment, Gu Yihan was in the Qiushui Palace.
n.o.ble Consort Qiao helped him b.u.t.ton up his clothes.
Gu Yihan looked at his good daughter, who was sitting obediently at the side and eating pear. He asked with a smile, “Nuo’er, today is Father’s birthday. What gift are you going to give Father?”
Gu Nuo’er’s watery eyes were bright.
She blinked like an adult. “This is a secret! I want to give Father a surprise.”
After saying that, she ran over and hugged her father’s leg. She raised her head and fluttered her long eyelashes.
The child’s voice was soft. “Father, can you come to the Qiushui Palace after the banquet tonight? Nuo’er wants to give you my gift personally.”
Gu Yihan chuckled brightly. “Of course. Father will accompany Nuo’er today.”
Gu Nuo’er smiled and nodded and said, “Then Father must remember to come back early. Otherwise, I’ll fall asleep!”
“Kid, Father promises you.” Gu Yihan reached out and gently scratched her nose.
Gu Nuo’er waved her small hand. “I’ll go play with my brothers. I’ll go with them to the banquet later!”
n.o.ble Consort Qiao reminded, “Don’t run too far and forget the time.”
“I understand, Mother!”
Gu Nuo’er’s cheerful figure ran out of the Qiushui Palace.
After their daughter left, Gu Yihan held n.o.ble Consort Qiao’s hand and naturally kissed the back of her hand.
“I heard from the people from the Internal Affairs Bureau that you’ve been busy for half a month in order to make arrangements for my birthday banquet.”
n.o.ble Consort Qiao’s black hair was like clouds, her skin was fair, and she looked beautiful. Now that she was wearing gold and jade on her head, she looked even more n.o.ble and elegant.
Her red lips curled up and she smiled. “When has your consort not been busy?”
Gu Yihan said calmly, “I know that the n.o.ble Consort has always been capable.”
After saying that, he leaned over and approached n.o.ble Consort Qiao, who subconsciously leaned back.
The two of them were stunned on the spot.
Gu Yihan frowned. “Why are you dodging?”
n.o.ble Consort Qiao blinked innocently. “What does Your Majesty want to do?”
What does he want to do?
He was her husband. What could he do?!
“Qiao Yayu, ever since I married you, I’ve known that you’re an insensitive woman!”
After saying this, Gu Yihan flicked his sleeves and left angrily.
n.o.ble Consort Qiao was stunned on the spot.
When Wanyin and Wanxuan saw His Majesty leave with a dark expression, they didn’t know what had happened.
“Your Highness, did you quarrel with His Majesty? It’s His Majesty’s birthday today. Why did you make him angry?” Wanyin couldn’t help but come in and say.
n.o.ble Consort Qiao felt that she was innocent. “I didn’t say or do anything.”
How could she know what His Majesty wanted to do by suddenly approaching? She had only subconsciously dodged.
n.o.ble Consort Qiao thought about it carefully and came to a realization.
Could it be that… His Majesty wanted to kiss her just now?
n.o.ble Consort Qiao bit her lip. She, who had always been decisive, also felt an indescribable shyness.
She couldn’t be blamed for this because she was used to going by the book with His Majesty.
She had been so busy these past few days that she hadn’t reacted earlier. Wanxuan asked worriedly, “What should we do now, Your Highness?”
n.o.ble Consort Qiao pressed her glabella with a headache. “Let’s not worry about it for now. I’ll explain things clearly to His Majesty when I have the chance.”
Today was Gu Yihan’s birthday. n.o.ble Consort Qiao had to arrange for someone to keep an eye on the food at the banquet, the safety of the surrounding patrols, and the palace maids who were entertaining the civil and military officials.
She had too many things to do. She would coax this man later..
